Beyond Biodiversity Monitoring: Measuring Conservation Impact and Informing Decisions ft. Viviana Ruiz-Gutierrez
When:
Where: Farrell Hall, Burlington, VT
Please join the Gund Institute for a special talk by MacMillan Visiting Scholar Dr. Viviana Ruiz-Gutierrez. Despite significant advances in biodiversity monitoring and our ability to analyze large-scale ecological data, determining whether conservation efforts are delivering measurable outcomes for nature remains a major challenge. Ruiz-Gutierrez will present examples of how her team has used biodiversity monitoring data to inform policy, guide investments in regenerative agriculture, and begin to assess their outcomes. She will also discuss the benefits and challenges of working with partners outside academia to translate scientific findings into action that can improve biodiversity outcomes at scale.
